How Soon After an Auto Accident Should You See a Chiropractor?
After an auto accident, you should see a chiropractor as soon as possible. The sooner you’re evaluated and treated, the better the recovery. A lot happens so fast after you’ve been in an auto accident, sending you through a whirlwind of emotions and concerns. Our Chamblee chiropractors can help you after your accident.
Get Evaluated Quickly for Insurance Purposes
Laws vary from state to state. Georgia has a two-year window to file an auto accident injury claim, which is great because some auto injuries take months to fully set in, like whiplash. Even with that large window, you want to see one of our chiropractors as soon as possible to begin the documentation process and minimize the chance of an insurance company denying you compensation.
Get a Full Evaluation
Whiplash is the number one injury you want to get evaluated for, and it’s something our chiropractors can both diagnose and treat. One of our chiropractors will evaluate you for whiplash as well as injuries to the head, neck, back, joints, legs, arms, hands, and feet. Even if you think you’re fine and don’t feel any pain, get evaluated anyway. Injuries aren’t always obvious and it’s safer to be proactive than reactive.
Get Immediate Care
Our chiropractors have a comprehensive list of treatments available at the office. Some are standalone, and some are adjunctive treatments that support chiropractic care, massage, and other forms of primary care. You can view our full list of services here.
Be On the Watch for Delayed Symptoms
Between the adrenaline rush that follows an accident and the sheer force generated during one, not all auto accident injuries manifest within hours of the accident. Head injuries and the full impact of whiplash can take up to months for all the symptoms to appear. Our chiropractors will have you be on the lookout for chronic headaches, mood changes, behavior and personality changes, numbness or tingling, sleep issues, blurred vision, and more.
